A tour de force collection from an American master of short fiction—“its emotional heartbeat is so insistently truthful” (The New York Times). In his fifth collection of short fiction, Andre Dubus exhibits his remarkable storytelling range. In “Deaths at Sea,” two naval officers, one black and one white, must come to terms with a history and an institution steeped in racism. “After the Game” tells the story of a Hispanic shortstop on a major-league baseball team who suddenly and without explanation loses his mind. And in “Rose,” a mother finally stands up to her husband’s abuse of their children. The four novellas and two short stories that comprise The Last Worthless Evening traverse those facets of American life that are at the same time cruel and commonplace, and with spare, immediate prose, render them universal. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Andre Dubus including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
There are just so many summers and just so many springs... Mia Dawson fled a bad situation in her adopted hometown of Galveston, Texas, heading out on the highway with no particular destination in mind. She planned to clear her head, heal her broken body, and find herself again before going back home. What she hadn't planned on was the residents of the small town of Wesa, Oklahoma and the hot-as-hell sheriff who took care of everyone except himself. After only a few months, Mia felt like she was already home. And that was a problem. Because home is where the heart is...and hers was just too damaged to give away again. Sheriff Grant Mitchell knows two things. First, he always wanted to be the law enforcement officer in his hometown. Second, since the only woman he ever loved made it clear when she left him that his job title was beneath her, he decided his job was all he would ever need. He absolutely had no feelings for the beautiful woman who'd blown into town, wrapped in bandages and a cast, and charmed everyone around her with her quiet strength and sweet nature. He had sworn to protect and serve, and that included newcomers in town. That's all it was, he told himself, as he drove past her house to check on her every night. What happens when a fling turns into something more that neither wants to admit? And who will walk away first? Life has a way of reminding them that it's short, not always sweet, and there are times you have to fight for what you want.
